princess training

Lesson #1
Oh...just kidding, she already knows how to do this without lessons.

Yesterday, I asked Courtney to draw a picture of a princess dress. Here is her picture.











This morning, we went to the fabric store. Within a minute, she had found this fabric that she just loved. She humored me and walked through the store and looked at all the possibilities and then went right back to her first choice.

Courtney had Whoppers for breakfast, a cupcake for lunch and an ice cream sandwich for dinner. She also ate a big bowl of rice krispies, bagel, cream cheese, strawberries, blueberries, a hamburger, pickles, lemonade and two big glasses of milk today. Papa came home for lunch and lost 25 to 14 in Wii boxing.

She was a great helper with our sewing project: pinning, cutting, and she ran the foot pedal on the machine. After a couple of hours when we needed a break, we went over to the Shipley Resort.

After dinner, Cork and Papa cleaned up while I finished THE DRESS.











Courtney thinks that the dress looks just like the picture she drew, and I just love making dreams come true!
